Rio Ave
- Rúben Amorim has been experimenting with a different tactical shape, and could use it against Rio Ave FC, with Eduardo Quaresma featuring on the right-hand side of the defense.
- New signings Kovacevic and Debast made crucial mistakes last time around and might be benched, which might give Israel and Diomande a chance to start.
- Okkas will be unavailable for the season opener, leaving Clayton as the main option to lead the line here.
- João Graça and João Novais will be in competition to start at the middle of the park.
